OK, I've heard lots of rumors. The most prevalent one is Herman, Marcason, Ford and Jolly are all running for Mayor. 3 years out?? Isn't that a little early? Whoever sent this out had some bucks.

Clearly, it was from someone wanting to attack the current council members that are rummored to be running for mayor. The production values indicate someone spent pretty serious money on their effort. Also, the reference to a "campaign slogan" by Funk indicates once again the campaign related focus of this piece. My suspects? Supporters of either Reiderer or Sly James.
The piece was obviously done with savvy, but not with a lot of money, unless they mailed it out to a significant amount of people. From the scanned copies I've seen they're mailing it first class, but we don't know the scope of the mailing.
Reiderer and Sly may make some sense, but we can be certain that the Pats and Nutter had nothing to do with it.
Hmmmm. But maybe there is a non-Pat, "Gray" connection here. The world of politics is neither black nor white, but many shades of Gray....
:o)
Note typos and grammar issues in the piece.
The Ford and Jolly box has "...approved the slashing the Police Department budget..."
Capitalization is incorrect in the first sentence on the left - including salary, free, tickets, city.
"Chief's" and "Royal's" are also typos. This aggravates me to no end. If you pay people good money to produce something like this, they should get it right.
Reiderer was "hit" by an anonymous attack postcard in the mayoral primary which I always believed had Joe Miller's finger prints all over it. That piece targeted Reiderer's hired gun Doug Gray. Reiderer never recovered from that attack and ended up third. Tit for Tat?
I don't think Reiderer suffered from that attack piece. I think he suffered from (1) the fact that Brooks and Funk campaigns captured and held their traction in the face of (2) his second problem, which was his campaign positioning that was just downright weird - fighting and prosecuting corruption where ever he could find it. Canned photos of him in front of clearly canned juries which were almost laughable.
Reiderer came in third due to his TV campaign, and despite its flaws, a well-executed direct mail campaign.
Al was the reason why Funk won by 908 votes - Reiderer got SW corridor and northland votes that would have otherwise been destined for Funk.
Reiderer, by the the virtue of his weird and misdirected campaign position, made a ceiling for himself, that could only marginally be increased with more money. But he couldn't have won with Funk's clearly differentiated and focused campaign message, and Brook's lock on the east side and fuzzy appeal/antifunk sentiment in the SW corridor.
If Doug "can't win an election" Gray had anything to do with it the postcard, the hogs would be cleaned, heavily made-up, airbrushed, and probably played by actor-Hogs from back East. Otherwise known as "Grayscale."
It would probably be best to look where you do not expect to find the perpetrator, like Calvin Williford. Calvin broke with his boss Mike Sanders and worked for Al Brooks. Calvin also has a reputation for, shall we say, creative campaign fund-raising and spending, which would come in handy here. He was behind a very similar piece that went out against Scott Burnett in 2006. I think Calvin is off the reservation again.
一个女孩子，小的时候腿不利索，常年只能坐在门口看别的孩子玩，很寂寞。
有一年的夏天，邻居家的城里亲威来玩，wow power leveling带来了他们的小孩，一个比女孩大五岁的男孩。因为年龄都小的关系，男孩和附近的小孩很快打成了一片，跟他们一起上山下河，一样晒得很黑，笑得很开心，不同的是，他不会说粗话，而且，他注意到了一个不会走路的小姑娘。wow power leveling

，第一个把女孩背到了河边，第一个对着女孩讲起了故事，第一个告诉她她的腿是可以治好的。wow power leveling第一个，仔细想来，也是最后一个。

可是，他还是收留了她，wow powerleveling让她在店里帮忙。他发现，她几乎是终日沉默的。

这段时间里，她一直守在他身边，照顾他，容忍他酒醉时的打骂，更独立撑着那片摇摇欲坠的小店。她学到了很多东西，wow powerleveling也累得骨瘦如柴，可眼里，总跳跃着两点神采。
半年之后，他终于康复了。面对她做的一切，只有感激。他把店送给她，她执意不要，他只好宣布她是一半的老板。在她的帮助下wow powerleveling，他又慢慢振作了精神，他把她当做是至交的好友，掏心掏腹地对她倾诉，EVE ISK
